Life is full of choices,from the moment we get up in the morning,till we go to bed at night,just think about that for a moment.Try and count how many choices you made yesterday,or even today,no I will not bore you by going over a list.Now of course many of our choices are not really important,red tie blue tie,this aftershave or that aftershave,wash the car,don't wash the car.But then there are those choices that a bit more important,like should I change my dentist,doctor,or whatever,and so it goes on.We read in the Bible of people who made very serious choices,think of the people at the time of Jesus,and one of His disciples Judas,he choose financial gain,30 pieces of silver he got for betraying Jesus,a decision he soon regretted, and is still regretting it now in Hell, then there was Pilate the Roman governor he choose to let Jesus be crucified because of fear[John 19 12-13].Then there was the fickle crowd led by the religious leaders,they made a foolhardy and evil decision they were given a choice,there was custom that a prisoner of their choice would be released[John 18 v39-40] ,so they were asked, did they want Jesus to be released or a notorious criminal called Barabbas, they choose ,guess who?, Barabbas. That was the most important decision in all of their lives,when we are faced with Jesus,the choice we make is the most important decision in our lives,dont be like Judas,or Pilate, or the crowd,your eternal destiny rest on that choice,and that is very, very serious.
A prayer...../ Dear God help us to see the importance of making the right choice as regards Jesus Your Son Amen/
